The Horn Loves Bacon; Hops & Grains' New Pale Dog

DOWNTOWN -- The Horn's new food critic, Brittany Christa, has a lot of love for Bacon, the downtown restaurant dedicated wholly to bacon. She writes that she found herself in "bacon heaven." [The Horn]

BEERWIRE -- Behold, Hops & Grains' "first 6 pack of Pale Dog canned, and first can drank, and first can recycled!" [Eaterwire]

SOUTH FIRST -- The little birdies of spring have brought a new menu to Lenoir. It's still a $35 three-course prix fixe, but with seasonally appropriate additions. [Eaterwire]
